The characterization of ligand-specific maize (Zea mays) profilin mutants.

The Biochemical journal - 15 Aug 2001

Kovar D R, Drøbak B K, Collings D A, Staiger C J

Abstract excerpt

Profilins are low-molecular-mass (12-15 kDa) cytosolic proteins that are major regulators of actin assembly in all eukaryotic cells. In general, profilins from evolutionarily diverse organisms share the ability to bind to G-actin, poly-(L-proline) (PLP) and proline-rich proteins, and polyphosphoinositides. However, the functional importance of each of these interactions remains unclear and might differ between...
